Kindergarten 2 children at Changemakers Explorer (Downtown East) are learning new vocabulary through an AI Chinese language learning app.

Preschool centres in Singapore are using AI to make Chinese language learning more engaging and interactive for children.

At Changemakers Explorer (Downtown East), Kindergarten 2 children practise pronunciation through an app that listens as they read words aloud, gives instant scores, and adjusts the pace if needed. The approach blends learning with play, while inspiring creativity through thoughtfully-designed learning environments.

Launched in 2025, the app has been used by about 800 children. To manage screen time, each session is limited to five minutes and is used once a week during Chinese lessons. The app currently includes 300 vocabulary words.

Coreen Soh, Chief Child Development and Support Officer at NTUC First Campus, said, “AI supports children’s independent practice and learning by providing immediate feedback on their pronunciation. The platform also helps teachers track children’s learning progress and identify which words need more reinforcement in class, or which children need additional support.”
